Jitrois stretches the point
29/06/2015
Mr Jitrois is on the record as saying: “Leather garments are something very special. They are comfort objects and they carry around our emotions and our memories. They even grow old with their owners; we leave our imprint on them. And the older a leather garment gets, the more we love it. It’s like good wine, it gets better with age.”
He claims that his introduction in 1993 of stretch leather is proof that it is possible for designers to be innovative while remaining faithful to their roots.
